Well, since they don’t sell games, I guess they shouldn’t expect to see any of my money anytime soon. The blade cuts both ways, Ubishit, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
If buying isn’t ownership, then piracy isn’t theft.
Never give Ubi money. Or EA. Or Blizzard.
Or Microsoft. Not only do you not own games, you can’t choose or vote with your wallet anymore if you get into a subscription model, MS will develop whatever costs them less and makes them more and double down on AI slop.
Wouldn’t the easiest way out for this just be to throw a repo up and say “host your own servers, go away.”
It feels like that would be an approach that would be simple and cheap to deliver (they don’t have to handhold any of it) but makes them look magnamanous-- “you’ll be able to show your kids this game or get a nostalgia kick even 20 years for now, like how your dad pulled out the Atari 2600”.
Target your anger about this to something productive.
